Common Sense Institute Arizona Belief Statement
We believe sound fiscal and economic research is essential to uphold Arizona’s economic vitality, future, and individual opportunity.
The @azfarmbureau found that a Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings will cost an AZ family $51.89 this year — down 28% since last year, which cost $71.88.
While your Thanksgiving dinner might cost you less this year, the same meal in 2019 would have cost about 20% less than it does today.
Traveling for Thanksgiving?
CSI found that the average fare for the 5 most common destinations out of Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport decreased 9% since last year. If you’re driving for the holiday, CSI estimates that gas for a 50 mile car ride will cost 18% less than it did in 2022!

COMMON SENSE INSTITUTE ARIZONA’S MISSION
CSI Arizona’s mission is to examine the fiscal impacts of policies, initiatives, and proposed laws so that residents are educated and informed on issues impacting their lives. Common Sense Institute was founded in 2010 originally as Common Sense Policy Roundtable in Colorado. CSI’s founders were a concerned group of business and community leaders who observed that divisive partisanship was overwhelming policymaking and believed that sound economic analysis could help residents make fact-based and common sense decisions.
